Faith and Work – April Intensive

The Presbyterian College launches 2018 Faith & Work Cohort with Weekend Intensive

The Faith & Work Cohort experience will prepare you to embrace your everyday work as a vital part of God’s mission, no matter what kind of work you do. Together we will discover God’s original design for work and how it positions us to join him in renewing and restoring every broken person, system, and place within our communities.

WEEKEND INTENSIVE

We will begin our 2018 cohort with a “Weekend Intensive,” April 20-21. The Intensive is designed to orient the participate to the learning environment and the “Kingdom Work” learning path (course workbook). The Intensive allows us to start building the relational foundations that make the program unique and transformative. For this reason, we do not recommend you register unless you can create time in your schedule for the Weekend Intensive.

MONTHLY MEETINGS

More clearly see our true identity in the light of the Word and in the story of the whole Gospel.

Better understand our personal calling and how it can directly involve us in Jesus’ mission.

Learn how to influence our culture and community as representatives of Jesus and for the common good.

Form ongoing relationships that encourage and sustain shared stewardship of our community’s well-being.

Registration & Cost

The cost of the cohort program is $600; however, we are able to offer the program for $300 for this first cohort group. An initial $100 will be collected for the Weekend Intensive (on Eventbrite or “at the door”). Future sessions will be scheduled as separate events on Eventbrite.

We are thankful for the generous gifts to Presbyterian College that have made this possible. An additional $25 will be collected for course materials.

We are committed to making this formational experience as affordable as possible. A payment plan is available and additional inquiries for financial aid can be made to the program director.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cohort?

A cohort is simply a small group of people learning together (usually around 6 to 8). This aspect of our learning environment allows for interaction and relationships that result in truly transformational learning and life-change.

What can I expect from the monthly sessions?

Our sessions will include larger group teaching and discusions, smaller (cohort) interaction, as well as individual time to process content and connect with God through reflection and prayer. Tim Keener, director of the Leadership Centre will be our primary facilitator. Tim is an experienced facilitator and passionate communicator with experience in organizational management, leadership, and sacred ministry.

What are some of the specific themes we will be exploring?

What if I miss a session?

We will miss you, and you will miss an enjoyable time learning and growing together. That said, we understand that in some circumstances participants miss one of the sessions for exceptional reasons.

If you are unsure you are able to carve out the time and commit to the process, you may want to wait until a future cohort. Or, give us a call and we’ll help you think through the steps to making the commitment work in your schedule!

What if I am not available Saturday mornings?

For most participants, meeting during a weekday is impossible. Meeting on weeknights is not ideal as the sessions require a minimum of 3 hours. This makes Saturday mornings the best option for meeting.

Alternative times and online solutions will be considered if enough participants are available for a 2nd cohort.
